July l0 and July 24, 1967, relative to a site selection for the proposed Neighborhood Facili-
ties Building. The City Manager reported that in making contacts to negotiate a purchase
price on the proposed location of the vacant Nehi Bottling Company building, corner of Sixth
Street and Pecan Avenue, a~letter had been received stating that the property had been re-
cently sold at a sale price of $75,000.00. The Manager further relayed information that
through a recent visit from the Neighborhood Facilities Coordinator, Department of Housing
and Urban Development, Atlanta, Georgia, it was learned that if federal funding were to be
considered for the proposed project that (1) there would have to be a "fixed" site location;
(2) funds are available; (5) the City would be required to pay 25% of the costs of the pro-
posed project; (4) applications are being accepted; (5) no assurance that application would
be approved or expedited if in case this were a "quick ~eed" project.
The discussion brought forth the subject that the City could not by-pass the federal
requirement that sets forth the use of the building by the Community Action Programs or anti-
poverty programs. Commissioner Rab~on moved that after due consideration that the City
Commission go on record in that the City Commission will undertake the project of construction
